SM Trap Detector – Liquidity Sweeps & Institutional Reversals
Overview:
This script is designed to help traders detect Smart Money traps, liquidity grabs, and false breakouts with high precision.
Inspired by institutional trading logic (SMC, ICT, Wyckoff), this tool combines:
🟦 Liquidity Zone Mapping – Detects stop hunt targets near highs/lows
🚨 Trap Candle Detection – Identifies fakeouts using wick + volume logic
✅ Reversal Confirmation – Entry signals based on real market structure
🧭 Dashboard Panel – Always see the last trap type, price, and confirmation
🔔 Real-Time Alerts – Stay notified of traps and entry points
🧠 Logic Breakdown:
Trap Candle = Large wick, small body, volume spike, and sweep of a liquidity zone
Confirmed Entry = Reversal price action following the trap (engulfing-style)
📈 Best Used On:
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Stocks
Timeframes: No limitation but works best on 1H, 4H, Daily
🛠 Suggested Use:
Trade only confirmed entries for best results
Place stops beyond wick highs/lows
Target previous structure or use RR-based exits
📊 Backtest Tip:
Use alerts + replay mode to manually validate past traps.
Note: Please backtest before using it for entry.
